8 OPAL MINING IN MEXICO SHOWS NEW ACTIVITY Primitive Methods Still Being Used to Secure the Gems Qucrctn.ro, Mexico, Aug. 6.—Opal mining in this district, an industry as yet untouched by foreign capital, has shown renewed activity with the close of the war and a normal num ber of men will soon be at work. The Queretaro district for more than sixty years had furnished virtually • all of the opals sold in the republic, most of the valuable gems going to dealers in Mexico City who in turn ship them to the United States. Primitive methods are still used here to secure the gems. Dynamite is used to blast the gents front the . ground. After the rock is broken into suitable pieces it is taken to the shops for grinding and polishing "■•rocesses. Modern methods are not used, the rough stones merely plac ed on spindles and applied to an ordinary grindstone worked by foot power. Vigorous rubbing on soft leather is the last .step in completing an opal for the market.

Public feeling. Judged by protesting letters to the press and i the talk one hears in restaurants j and private houses, is mounting to j the point of extreme indignation. Newspapers are devoting much i space to this subject and warning the government that unless it takes action to curb protlteering, trouble may be expected this winter.

One writes to I a London paper complaining of high | prices demanded for eggs, milk and ! fruit and declaring "Those who buy and sell seem to have gone mad in their 'get-rich-quick' craze, and their impertinence in what they charge the public is something gross."
